Frank Bianco returns to gym!

22nd Jan. 2009

Last week Frank Bianco returned to his gym he has run since 1971 looking in good shape after his bad acquaintance with cancer.

Although he is still being treated with chemo he is full of life and looking ahead with confidence. Frank has been running his gym at Lower Templestowe for the last 16 years with one of the last boxers he trained being Luke Moloney, he was recently seen in "the contender series"

Frank started boxing at 11 years of age at the Collingwood youth club with Leo Cole, he won the Golden Gloves award twice 1977 and 78. After turning pro he fought Billy O'Conner and beat Alan Presnell he told YVB he sparred Les Dunn many times Les being a former opponent of the writer.

His gym mates then being Bobby Dunn, Wayne Bannister, Lionel Rose, Leo Young and Johnny Famechon, even Tony Mundine and many more.

According to Young Victor, Frank is a softy trainer and he admits that he does not push his kids which is good practice, he said that unless his boys are absolutely ready he does not let them fight anybody.

YVB hope that Frank keeps on the improve as he has a lot of young men that love the way he runs his gym.

Frank has a good man in Scotty seen below that helps him keep the gym open and Scotty has been doing a great job while Frank was in hospital in keeping the gym running. Dedicated to Frank's gym, Scotty catches the bus from Preston and walks if he doesn't have his bus fare money.

Hopkins / Danny Green

17th Jan 2009

Bernard knows this is not the same Danny that spent so much time around world rated fighters waiting for his big chance and having to return to Australia

There can only be one reason for all the excuses made by Bernard Hopkins in making sure this fight does not take place and that is that he is scared of facing Green after seeing the massive destruction of his American partner in the legend department.

All this drama points to one direction READ

Sam Soliman vs Shannon McMahon for WBF title

13th Jan 2009:

Sam Soliman is to fight Shannon McMahon at Moonee Valley Racecourse 13th March.

What seems a lopsided match, the fight is taking place and places McMahon in what surely looks to be a difficult task to undertake according to YVB.

Shannon is a good boxer but handling Sam may be hard.

Sam a master at spoiling anyone's style, this proven by beating Enrique Ornelas in 2006 who just went the distance with legend Bernard Hopkins in December 09 with Sam still, not getting a chance at a world title.

Common knowledge was that fighting Sam was difficult so he was never given the chance he deserved for a world title fight.

Sam fought and lost to Ronald Wright (Winky) a disputed decision having deserved better result.

Sam Soliman is now on the edge of his career but full of cagey experience with fitness being one of his favorite conditions.

A win for Shannon would be a great achievement, it would place him in a good position for bigger fights. Shannon is a great person and deserves this chance.

TRIBUTES to very memorable friends.

Johnny Butterworth formerly British Lightweight Champion.  boxing video clips Johnny Butterworth vs George Bracken

I made my major impression in boxing in 1960 through sparring and training with this colourful boxer from the UK

This is when I truly became a fighter, I was previously ringshy and finally discovered I could punch hard.

He introduced rock and roll music while training in Snowy Sullivan's gym.

Hope you are well Johnny - I wish you all the best anyone can get.

My boxing experiences with you led me to achieve the PPBA most improved fighter of the year during 1960.

I was his main sparring partner and he was mine. What I learned from Johnny was how to combine fighting with boxing.

If you ever see this, Johnny, make sure you contact me. Johnny Butterworth had returned to the UK (Rochdale)

10th December 2006

I have recently been contacted by his nephew Colin Johnson and he told me that Johnny was his uncle and that Johnny is still alive and happily spends his time at the pub from 11: 00am every day which is common in the UK as its a social thing.

I have placed this movie so Johnny can see himself fighting a very loved by me and fans alike Aussie champion George Bracken.

Johnny Butterworth

YV's tribute to Johnny

George Edwards - RIP - usher at the Stadium attended to opening, timekeeping and closing Snowy's gym.

We arrived in many wet and cold winter training sessions by ourselves, no sparring partners, George always showed up.

Snowy Sullivan - RIP (William Peter "Snowy" Sullivan) Young Victor says - My trainer was very larrikin like with cheeky blue eyes and liked his drink, he had a very nice family, very clean, well kept and held his job, he was a forklift driver at the government printing office in North Melbourne for a long time where nobody seemed to know he was associated with boxing, he always kept his family very private from his boxing life.

He arrived every Friday night at Festival Hall dressed immaculately in a dark  suit with a white shirt and bow tie, he sat right next to Bill Read the matchmaker in the weighing room with Norm Foster then a young man learning to be a matchmaker, I also used this as my dressing room, I saw all the boxers billed to fight on Friday nights getting officially weighed in. ( with some funny remarks made by boxers to their opponents whenever they ran into one another and heard some great threats )

At about the time when I went to Laurie Schwind to train for my last fight, Snowy had told the Stadium promoters I was having "feints" in the gym. ( whatever feints were, according to Ambrose Palmer whom told me personally ) This was totally untrue and I suspect he made it up as he was personally fond of me, and did not want me to go on with boxing in case of getting seriously hurt. He had indicated to me that although I did not have many fights, the ones I had were very hard. This also explains why my last fight was in the country ( Benalla ) and not at the stadium.

God Bless you Snowy because we were good friends and I always knew we had a soft spot within us for one another and I stuck by him.

But I loved the man, there was something about Snowy, I was begged to leave him and get what they called a proper trainer but keeping in mind what I did after boxing it was for the better.

Young Griffo, boxing’s forgotten genius: Born in Australia and buried in the Bronx 05.12.05 - By MIKE CASEY: The story goes that when Young Griffo was in the premature autumn of his incredible life and ever more dependent on his famous love of alcohol, he would keep himself in drinks by spreading a handkerchief on the floor of his local saloon, placing a foot on one corner, and challenging any man in the bar to punch him off it....

Young Victor

Young Victor 1958-1963 briefly introduced to boxing by Snowy Coates,  later managed & trained by Snowy Sullivan his fights were 1958 / 63 mainly at West Melbourne Stadium in Australia renamed Festival Hall. Retired just after turning 22 years of age and went on with an interesting life of challenges some with successes and failures most of which you can read about from the link My Memories just below. Young Victor was a committee member of the Australian Boxing Federation Vic. Inc. [ABF] & member - ANBF, he is a member of the PPBA, Known as the Past & Present Boxers Assoc.  & VBTL Victorian Boxers & Trainers League.  This grey area is mainly about Young Victor  during my very naive  period.  To return to this page from anywhere in here click HOME .

About this website: This website went on line 25th Jan 2002 as Young Victor (then a personal site) it quickly developed into a full blown boxing site. "Young Victor Boxing" first registered - 8th Dec 2004 as a Boxing website following into a Boxing News & Media site.

This website allows anything to be copied as Young Victor is of the opinion that Boxing benefits from other boxing enthusiasts using what they need which in turn helps boxing remain the gallant sport it has always been, the only condition is that anything copied is used sensibly and not offensive to anyone. PLEASE NOTE: Photos that belong to other professional photographers are marked as such and must not be copied. In Boxing Young Victor usually uses old time "fighters lingo" phrases and remarks with seemingly little care for spelling. Lynette a major contributor by staying fast behind the editor of the site.
